Viking Woodworking

Testimonials

We let our clients do the talking but our work speaks for itself.

Viking Woodworking just completed a kitchen cabinet replacement/ custom bar project in the record time of 3 weeks. Everything was done on time and to perfection. We had the unusual issue of wanting to keep our current granite countertops ( they matched the island which was not part of the project). Pete only works with the best subcontractors and Ultimate Granite ( original installers it turned out!) removed them and replaced them on the new cabinets without any problem at all.
Viking's attention to detail is pervasive all the way through the entire process. From the original conversation with Pete to determine the the scope if the project, dealing with Nancy who is on top of every detail and keeps everyone on schedule, the actual crew of carpenters that work in the shop ( visiting this and seeing the actual work in action is what sealed the deal for us), all of the excellent subcontractors- the whole project was professional and exceeded our expectations. I was pleasantly surprised that custom cabinets were reasonably priced compared to manufactured ones. Especially when they were installed I was able to see that some of the small but critical details that make the difference. Issues can be solved immediately rather than waiting to re-order new parts or a whole new cabinet.
MY house looks entirely different with my new cabinets and bar and I am more than pleased with the quality and professionalism of Viking Woodworking.

Viking Woodworking built out my master closet in my new patio home and I love it! It is exactly everything that we discussed and designed. The quality cannot be beat and the installation team treated my home with respect and cleaned the workspace before leaving. I could not even tell they were there except for the beautiful closet and cabinetry that was left behind!

I hope you had a great Holiday with Family and enjoyed some time away.
We had family in and certainly gave the kitchen a good work out and it performed well. Everyone just loved what we did with the house and the Kitchen was certainly a focal point. We love it and do not believe we would do anything different with the design or cabinets. Thanks again for all the help from you, Nancy, Jesse and the Viking Team. We appreciate all the work and patience with us. The team did a great job!
Happy New Year!

Pete and his staff are wonderful! Pete designed the cabinetry for our master bathroom, and our entire master closet keeping in mind every detail that was important to me. They turned out beautiful! I can't say enough about Pete and his entire staff , especially Nancy who is so professional and caring. They all really go above and beyond and you can truly tell that Pete absolutely loves his job, he puts his heart and soul into it. Impeccable detailed craftsmanship, true to his words and a master at his craft. I highly recommend Viking Woodworking, you won't be disappointed.

Pete, Wanted to drop you a note letting you know how pleased I am with everything. I was truly surprised that you could match our moulding profiles and the existing cabinetry the way you did. The match of the stain makes the new work look as if it were here for the last hundred years like the rest our trim. The layout of the cabinetry, the way you and Gil matched every detail of the intricate woodwork was spot on! You told me not to worry, so I didn't. You guys are the best. I would recommend you to anyone.

Thanks bunches.

Good morning Pete,

Two weeks in and we are so pleased with our beautiful new kitchen! I wanted to write to let you know happy we are that you were recommended to us. The quality and craftsmanship are exceptional, and the custom color match you created for us is exactly what we were looking for.

When we decided it was time to update our kitchen, we spoke with a few people. No one else could come close to what Simple Green Cabinets offers as the "standard" of service . . . . custom dimensions, custom color, top quality hardware, reliable service, and no-fuss installation. You and your team are top-notch, and the installation was quick and professional.

We also appreciate the time you spent in coordinating our countertop selection and design. The folks at Ultimate Granite are a dream to work with.

We still have decorating to do, but I'm sending you a few pictures for your portfolio. Once we have finished with painting, etc., I'll send you the end result. Again, thank you so much for the care you took in making sure we were satisfied, and WE ARE! I hope you will feel free to use us as a reference if you ever need one, as we would be happy to highly recommend Simple Green Cabinets.

Pete, thank you so much for the great job you did on my kitchen cabinets. The new cabinet you built looks beautiful & fits right in with the rest of the kitchen. You would not think there is a 20 year difference in the cabinets, you match the shade of white perfectly. I am also impressed to the degree of work you went through to get the right router to recreate the pattern in the wood. Kurt was also a great guy to work with. He is so patient & is very precise with his work. Replacing my older cabinets and drawers with new hardware was a great idea. I feel like I have all new cabinets...no more doors that don't stay closed! I would recommend you & your crew to anyone needing new cabinets or refurbishing. Thank you again & I will call again in the future.

Pete, It was great working with you in December. The creative solutions you had for our reconstruction were spot on! I especially appreciated how you and your employees functioned as a team. It was good to be able to be comfortable having the gentlemen in the house for extended periods of time. Their camaraderie and respect for you says a lot about your business. Wishing you and your business great success in 2012.

For many years, my husband and I had been looking for a cabinetmaker to undertake a project we knew would be challenging. We needed a cabinet for our dining room which would serve two purposes. The first was simple enough. It must look and function, in part, as a china cabinet. The second requirement was not so simple. The cabinet must contain and feature a particular art work, a dollhouse measuring 4â€™ x 4â€™ x 2â€™. Not only must this artwork be featured attractively, in a design that would be at home in a traditional dining room setting, but it must also function so that the doll house can be to turned around completely to show the furnished rooms of the house.

Given the houseâ€™s turning radius, the platform holding it must be capable of being completely, smoothly and effortlessly pulled out and spun around. Further, its function must be disguised to preserve the elegance of the design. Only in that way may the tiny, delicate furniture and accessories stand firm throughout. No small task. In fact, a giant undertaking. Many, well recommended cabinetmakers came and went, never to return. Pete came and, undaunted by the challenge, stayed. He embraced the vision for the piece. We clicked instantly, designing as colleagues, with the benefit of the refining vision of Michele Ambrozic, the decorative artist responsible for the whimsical finish of the piece. But the engineering and craftsmanship were all Pete, and his able assistant, Gil Dreger.

Because we wanted a curved crown molding for the top of the piece, Pete had a router bit machined to our specifications and cut the curve, just so. Because the dollhouse needed to turn perfectly, he sought out the best tools to engineer the platform. No step was too much trouble, in service to the design and production of the piece. He brought the best of ideas, the best of workmanship, and the best of natures. We remain friends. What better recommendation is there than that?

Sam and Anita N., Mt Lebanon, PA

Pete, Thank you so much for our wonderful kitchen! The care that you took to make sure that all of our needs were met was great. You made the entire process completely fun and painless. Dave and I were stunned when the crew showed up with the entire kitchen in a truck one day, and three days later everything was in place! The installation was complete and perfect. Your entire team exceeded our expectations. You are very fortunate to have "business partners" like these men.

The suggestions on the tile, lighting and granite were perfect! I also can't say enough about Chris and his team at Ultimate Granite. Everyone on our project was so kind, courteous and pleasant to be around. Molly has gone into a depression not having the guys around to scratch her and give her so much attention. All the best to you and "The Boys", we are hoping to get you back very soon for the rest of the list.

Dave and Sara H., Pittsburgh, PA

Pete, Gil, Josh, Kurt and crew, Wow! The bar, entertainment center and built-ins look spectacular! Pete, you told us in the beginning that we would really enjoy our experience and that every thing would be enjoyable and without problems. You told Bob and I that this would be a great experience, you were right! Thank you so much we love everything that you have done in our game room.

Jim and Missy T., Moon, PA

Things are great in the bar! I was just expounding on your skills to a neighbor. It is fun to share such great work and talent.
